I've just started a build and I'm planning to go the hot rod/rat rod direction. My question is whether you guys think it's better to get an engine and have it rebuilt or pick up a crate engine?
-I live in Canada, which is likely to bump the price of a crate up.
-The truck is only going to be an occasional driver.
-I would be getting the engine rebuilt by someone else as I don't have the skills to do it myself.
-I'm not planning to have any crazy amounts of power just something fun to drive that can occasionally make clouds of burnt rubber

Thanks for your advice!


Whenever you leave behind failure that means you're doing better if you think everything you've done has been great you're probably dumb
